BLASE CAFE – Restaurant
Two rooms, one menu, and a martini list that has been the point since 1997. On Ocean Boulevard a few steps off Siesta Key's beach, the Blase side runs cozy and a little funky after five; next door, 3.14 Pi keeps a tiki-leaning bar going past midnight with made-to-order pizza, burgers and salads. Craft beer skews Florida. A martini of the month rotates through things like peach vodka with fresh puree and lime, and live music turns up regularly. Regulars talk most about the drinks, the gorgonzola dishes and bartenders who remember them. Late nights, loose energy, unmistakably Siesta Key.
